This Lagrein, ruby red in colour with lighter shades at the edges, has an intense aroma of dark fruit (cherry, plum, blackberry), fine dark chocolate, with hints of herbs and slightly earthy forest notes. The tannins are light, firm and velvety, the acidity very fine and lively. Complex on the palate with intense aromas of dark fruit, coffee and light roasted notes. A powerful body, a very long finish; the harmony between concentrated fruit, body and acidity underlines the very high quality of the product.
